| Happy Father's Day |
This Father's Day, I would like to take a moment to honor the memory of my father, Philip Babin, Jr. He was a great father who taught me how to be a man and always led by example. I love and miss him dearly, along with his wise counsel.
To all of the dads out there, Happy Father's Day! I hope you have a wonderful day surrounded by your family and loved ones. You deserve it! |
| The Democratic Majority's Agenda |
It seems the Democratic Majority’s agenda will remain the same each week:
✅ Prioritize witch hunts that lack facts or merit
✅ Pass legislation that has zero chance at becoming law
✅ Remain unwilling to compromise
✅ Ignore real and urgent problems facing our country
The American people are not interested in wasting any more time and taxpayer dollars on bogus investigations and phony impeachment proceedings that will go nowhere. It is funny how Democrats do not bat an eye when throwing money into unfounded investigations, yet no amount of facts from professionals on the ground can get them to budge on addressing the VERY REAL crisis happening on our southern border.

| National Security Trumps Trade Security |
Trade security is a top priority, but national security must take precedence over everything else. I am pleased that Mexico is sending nearly 6,000 troops to enforce their southern border to help slow the massive influx of immigrants crossing the country to illegally enter the U.S.
We do not have the means to deal with the thousands of aliens pouring across our borders every day, week, and month. Unfortunately, we are in a split Congress where it is clear that the House Majority will NEVER compromise if it means President Trump wins at all. Hopefully Mexico follows through on their end of the deal so that President Trump does not have to levy tariffs on our neighbor. He has made it clear that Mexico must take action! We cannot keep floating the bill while everyone else benefits.
Thanks to Bulls & Bears on Fox Business for having me on the show to discuss this on Monday!

| More Aliens Break Our Laws |
A few days ago, more than 130 aliens entered into our country through a portion of unfinished fencing along the southern border in Arizona. In January, I was able to visit this exact part of the southern border in Arizona.
The fencing where this group of illegal aliens crossed is held together by a piece of rope – as you can see below. The photo on the left is a drone image showing the group of aliens pouring into our country, and the photo on the right is where they got in. They did not have to climb a fence or swim across a river – they merely lifted a piece of rope.
I took this photo while in Arizona. The path leading up to this entrance was obviously well walked because it was clearly visible. We must secure our borders because this ↓ will NOT do. How many more have broken our laws and illegally entered the US at this section of the border? This group was not the first!
What will it take to get the Democrats to act?

| Will the Mueller Report Live Forever? |
I am beginning to wonder if we will hear about this collusion hoax for the rest of our lives. Congressman Devin Nunes hit the nail on the head when he said, “The hoax is what they [democrats] have in place of a governing philosophy or a constructive vision for our country.” Democrats are so stuck on beating this horse that they are ignoring REAL issues facing our country – and what is worse – they do not seem to care. This witch hunt must come to an end. For the thousandth time, there was NO COLLUSION – it is over.

| Remembering Chief Chris Reed |
The Bay Area Community came together on Friday to honor the passing of Kemah Police Chief Chris Reed. Chief Reed was a public servant who devoted his life to family, the military, law enforcement, education, and serving the communities of the Houston Bay Area including: Kemah, Nassau Bay, and League City.
I was honored to present a flag that was flown over the US Capitol and a statement that was entered into the Congressional Record to the family in his memory. To view the Congressional Record statement, pleasse click here. |
| Visiting with Astronaut Aunon-Chancellor |
I met with NASA Astronaut Serena Aunon-Chancellor on Tuesday to discuss her recent mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS).
As part of Expedition 56/57, Astronaut Aunon-Chancellor 197 days in space before returning to Earth on December 20, 2018. The innovative cancer therapy research she did while on the ISS will help advance our knowledge in this arena as America continues to lead the world in space exploration.

| New HRA Rule: More Health Options |
Thanks to the Trump Administration’s expanded Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) rule, more than 800,000 Americans will gain health coverage! Our small businesses and hard-working middle-class families have suffered for too long under Obamacare – this rule will finally give them access, choice, and control over their coverage.

| Meeting with the East Texas Electric Co-op |
I had the opportunity to sit down with the East Texas Electric Co-Op on Wednesday where we were able to discuss infrastructure, new projects, and policy impacting the industry. These folks have been providing Southeast Texas with electricity that is affordable and reliable for as long as I can remember. I am proud to represent this group of individuals in Washington, DC.
